A recipe for change

Pioneering sustainable catering

As Ireland's leading sustainable catering company, we provide unforgettable experiences across the nation's most iconic venues and private spaces, all whilst helping to create a better future for our country, our planet, and future generations.

We’re ISO 20121 accredited, recognising that with every event, we redefine the boundaries of taste, quality, and sustainability, leaving a lasting impact on our guests and not the planet.

Food + mindful menus

Rotating our menus seasonally reflects our belief that fresh Irish produce not only elevates flavour but also reduces our environmental impact. We embrace a ‘Head to Tail’ approach to cooking, maximising every part of the animal to promote more ethical and sustainable practices.

Our menus feature vegan-based main courses, desserts, and pastries, as well as dairy-free yoghurt and cream. We've also halved beef consumption, introduced lower-carbon alternatives like venison, and increased plant-based options.

Responsible sourcing

supporting local + seasonal suppliers

By removing all air-freighted fruit and vegetables, we now source local ingredients via our logistic partners to support Irish farmers and reduce food miles. We’re committed to supporting local, sourcing all our meat from Ireland and making the most of seasonal Irish fruit and vegetables throughout our menus.

We only partner with suppliers who uphold the highest welfare standards and who share our commitment to net zero. As part of our commitment to sustainable catering in Ireland, free-range eggs are now standard across our business.

Consumables

Ditching disposables

Our partner venues are adopting reusable and recyclable options, including wooden crockery for grab-and-go areas and compostable consumables where reuse isn’t feasible, with some achieving recycling rates of over 98%.

Working with our suppliers, we’re reducing packaging and eliminating non-recyclable plastics to make our supply chain more sustainable.

We encourage our employees to bring and use reusable cups at work as part of our strategy to reduce single-use consumables. We’ve made the switch to Fairtrade-certified uniform suppliers to guarantee that our clothing is sourced ethically and sustainably.

Responsible refreshments

We’re always on the lookout for new ways to reduce carbon emissions in both upstream and downstream activity. Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade-certified tea, coffee, sugar, and cocoa are standard across all lines to support ethical sourcing.

We work with sustainable breweries to bring eco-conscious drinks to our menus while supporting efforts to decarbonise the drinks industry. Our menus provide low-carbon alternatives to sodas, like infused water drinks, and we actively recycle PET and canned waste to keep them out of landfills.

'Return for Children' initiative

We work with the Re-turn charity initiative ‘Return for Children’ to make a positive impact through recycling plastic bottles. From the initiative’s launch in August 2024 to January 2025, €31,000 was raised for children’s charities by the Aviva Stadium alone.

Waste +

Conscious consumption

In partnership with Positive Carbon, we’ve introduced a groundbreaking food waste reduction initiative at The CCD and Aviva Stadium to identify food waste sources and implement targeted reduction strategies.

We’re aiming to reduce kitchen food waste to under 1% of food produced and have already cut it by 50%. All unused non-perishable food is donated to local charities and redistributed to support local communities around our venues.

All our kitchens are fitted with sustainable appliances for efficient energy use, and we provide our kitchen teams with best practice energy-saving guidance. We reuse and recycle cooking oil through filtration systems and ensure all used oil is properly recycled.

People + empowering employees

Our team is encouraged to use public transport for commuting and to switch off the gas in our kitchens when not in use, helping us lower energy consumption.

We’re also making sure our kitchens are energy-efficient by installing LED lighting and working with clients to source renewable energy.

Employees are empowered to lead lower-carbon initiatives, and we provide the education and tools to help drive these projects.

Helping our people grow

By investing in both our existing talent and apprentices, we’ve built a team that’s driven, skilled, and ready to shake things up in the catering industry.

We’re dedicated to increasing the number of female chefs in our team year on year, supporting initiatives that champion women in the catering industry.

Hospitality can be a demanding industry, so we help our teams lead healthy lifestyles with sensible working hours.

Partnering for a better world

Whilst we uphold high sustainability standards, we also help our partners achieve the same. Our partner, The CCD, shares the same Event Sustainability Management ISO 20121 accreditation as well as the Environmental Standards ISO 14001, with Levy Ireland having played a key role in supporting their sustainability journey.
